Coffy

18

Emergency Room nurse Flower Child Coffin, usually referred to as Coffy, discovers that her innocent little sister LuBelle has fallen prey to a ruthless heroin pusher and the city's vicious drug ring. Blind with rage, Coffy summons up the courage to take the law into her own hands, and puts her sexy looks to good use to get those responsible for her young sister's addiction.

Now, amid tough procurers, corrupt mobsters, and an army of murderous henchmen, Coffy and her powerful sawed-off shotgun are out on the streets to clean the city.

This screening is happening on the Women’s Day of Black Again! Fifty Years of Blaxploitation on Saturday 7 October in collaboration with Women of the Lens Film Festival. On this day, we have a double bill of Coffy and Cleopatra Jones and a post film discussion on women and fashion. Also we have…

… a special 20% Double Bill Offer!  If you buy a ticket for Coffy and Cleopatra Jones at the same time, you'll receive 20% discount off both tickets. (Applies to full price or concession tickets only).

… between 1pm – 7.30pm, Ebony Milestone will host a trendy and culturally rich pop up boutique that will celebrate the iconic style and attitude of the blaxploitation era. This unique store will be a homage to the bold and influential fashion trends that emerged alongside the genre’s iconic films in the 1970s. Displaying & selling pre-loved items, African Inspired Prints, Statement Jewellery & an array of items that represent a sense of empowerment and cultural pride.

… there is a casual fashion competition taking place, so please come dressed to impress in your Blaxploitation era finest!
